Re: Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In our capacity as special securities counsel to Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, a
Maryland corporation (the Company), we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3
(Registration No. 333-150884) filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the related Prospectus dated May 13, 2008 (the Prospectus), as supplemented by the Prospectus
Supplement dated February 22, 2010 (the Prospectus Supplement) as filed by the Company on
February 22, 2010, relating to the offering of up to 5,000,000 shares of the common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of the Company (the Common Stock). In this regard, we have examined and
relied upon such records, documents and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate in order to express the opinions hereinafter set forth and have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic
copies.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock
referred to in the Prospectus Supplement, to the extent actually issued and sold in the manner and
on the terms described in the Controlled Equity Offering Sales
Agreement, dated February 22, 2010,
between the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, will
be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock of the Company.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Companys annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and further consent to the reference to us under
the caption Legal Matters in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. This consent is not
to be construed as an admission that we are a party whose consent is required to be filed with the
Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated
thereunder.
Very truly yours, |
